Best header for stock turbo???
full-race is the only header that made power when buschur tested. If you don't feel like spending a grand just port and coat the stock one. I went with the megan route and it cracked real bad on me after a year. however my car did run good with it but its not worth it since it will most likely not last long.

it isent a grand to do the stocker, at PPI internally port/polish only $65.00, internal port/polish and swaintech coat (which is pretty expensive itself) $229.00 and port/polish of both the interior and exterior removing the antilag ports and heat sheild mounts from the exterior is $319. Thr FR is $1200.00
the evo9 has a better head, better valvetrain, better cams and a better turbo. As a result, it will pick up significantly more power from breathing upgrades than a stock turbo would.
I'd recommend PPI. full internal porting with a swaintech ceramic coating for $210 shipped. Way better than the Jet Hot stuff that some other vendors use. I'll post some pics when I receive mine in a couple weeks.
Speaking from experience I have owned the SSAC tubular manifold and I had to have one welded because it cracked, on this car it was still using the stock O2 housing so there is no reason it should have had the weight stress that cracks these. It may look cool but looks are not everything.
I think you have no idea what you're talking about.
Man, im starting to see a trend here. There sure is a lot of douchbaggery going on in this forum. So what, he mistakingly called his manifold a header. Big effing deal. You guys act like you know so much and are above helping someone out. Granted, he didn't search very well, but so what? There was a time that you didn't know anything and guys like ME had to help you through it, and still do. Pitiful, if your not here to help, then that means your asking questions yourselves. So be nice and don't be asses.
To answer the thread starters questions, the stock manifold is fine with the stock turbo. The restriction in the exhaust is not from the manifold its self, it's in the small turbine section of the stock turbo. So, no matter what you do in the manifold, your still stuck with a restriction at the turbine section. Port it and have fun. Thats about the best you can do. Also, run the biggest exhaust you can find.....3+in from turbo back. That will help out a lot with backpressure and thus EGT's will be lower and it will allow you to run more ignition timing and boost safely.

even more useless posts? My GOD, if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't post at all. It's these kinds of posts that create even more misinformation and confusion. these people really want to learn, not be heckeled by people that probably don't know much about what they are talking about and are only following the popular vote of the masses. It's the blind leading the blind around here.
Again, to the thread starter, just look at my post#23 thats all you need to know, no matter what everybody else says. Sorry these people have to be dumbasses and act like they know everything and act like your the idiot. This is a real epidemic on this forum and i'm sick of seeing it TBH.

Come in here trying to save the world and make your voice heard when you've been a member here for NOT EVEN A MONTH. What a joke, go spread your word in another forum that gives 2 sh!tz.
As the great anchor man might say; I'm not even really that mad, I'm actually impressed that you took the time to type all of that up when nobody even cares.

Here is a link to Buschur Racings turbos. He only uses tubular manifolds on turbos that are larger than a GT35R.
